Zen'o isn't a bad guy at all, he's the nicest god we've met so far. He just wants a friend.

Never forget that.

That being said, he does seem pretty cool beyond that.

Except Gohan. And arguably Krillin and post-redemption Piccolo.

True.

I admit, it's something I keep forgetting.

There's Future Trunks and Gohan (and I guess Goten, who's way too innocent) but besides those two, is there anyone in this series who hasn't been a complete asshole about something at some point?

Eh, we still don't know why. I mean, he's not as petty as Beerus, so he might have had a good reason.

Trillin only took up Martial Arts to get girls, and was kinda a dick to Goku at first.

Piccolo did want to conquer the world before he reformed.

Zen-O is a god, and isn't bound by the same morality as we mortals. That is like going up to the Christian God and calling evil or out for not helping humanity more. Depending on what type of god you think the Christian God is, he will either lecture you or throw you into Hell.

Goku is also not going call Zen-O out because he hangs out with people like Piccolo, Vegeta, Buu who have a kill count in the millions and billions. So it would be hypocritical of him to get on Zen-O for destroying six universes, while he hangs out with former mass-murderers who killed people because it was fun. And Vegeta specifically isn't remorseful for his past.

Goku also didn't act dumb in this week's episode. He acted like himself in which he tried to be polite, by fall short because he's a country bumpkin. He did the same thing when he met Beerus when he tried to act polite and kind, but it came off as awkward and robotic. Plus, Goku was in a hurry, which was why he wasn't as polite and not that patient as he could have been.

As for Goku more stupid compared to Z. This has several factors. The big one being is that Goku in general has more screen time in Super. In Z, Goku was regularly off screen because he was injured, sick, training, dead, or just not in the picture. And when he was around, people were either dead or dying. No time to joke around. We rarely if ever see Goku relaxed in Z. The World Is Always Doomed in Z. In Super, it's more relaxed in general since the only truly evil villain we had so far is Frieza and Black, and Black is in another timeline. Goku was also made more heroic in Z by both Funi dub and the Japanese anime, while Super is closer to Toriyama's version of the character, who is somewhat selfish.

Gohan once went into a sadistic rampage and brutally killed a bunch of children and then proceeded to torture their father to the point he drove the guy to suicide, and when that attempt at suicide didn't work, Gohan went and tried to murder him. When that seemed like it would fail, Gohan's companions ganged up on the guy to give Gohan a legitimate shot at murdering him.

Huh.

That's not really skewed...that's exactly what happened.

You could easily say they tried to moider eachother...but that wouldn't make a difference.

Well, it's not really murder when the whole thing only happened because the father was going to murder everyone on the planet and then blow it up, only to then move onto the the same thing to a bunch of other worlds.

That actually took me a couple of seconds to process.

But yes, I suppose that was a thing that Gohan did. The dick.

Every costume you can unlock for your CAC in Dragon Ball Fusions:

Yes, you can were female character's clothes as a male CAC, and also yes, you can customize the color of each costume as well.

Zen'o threatened his personal bodyguards with death just for trying to stick up for him, which is their job as bodyguards. I get the feeling that, in matters not involving his new BFF Goku, he's like Beerus times 10, without an ounce of chill. I'm actually really scared for Goku's sake, having a friend that dangerous with that short of a temper.
